| House Boats on Lake Shasta | We're researching the Shasta Lake offering for house boats for our family next summer. Do any of you have experience in renting a house boat there and, if so, do you have recommendations for an outfit that we should or should not consider. We would appreciate any and all input. Thank You. | Janet Ross | 11/20/2011 |

| Performing Arts Reviews |
Yesterday I met a person (Lee Greene) who has a very interesting and
useful website called Performing Arts Reviews. He has been an arts critic
for the Mail Tribune. His website offers: (1) An updated calendar about what’s playing on a specific day (2) He also presents an extensive set of reviews of theatrical plays and musicals, of live music concerts and recitals spanning a wide range of genres from classical to jazz to pop to country and more, of films shown at festivals and special events, and of various other performing arts events, presented in the numerous performing arts venues in Southern Oregon. The website can be accessed at: http://performingarts.reviews Or just do: performingarts.reviews |

| Antlers Resort 140 Antlers Road CA 96051 (530) 238-2553 |
I rented a house boat 2 years ago from Antlers Resort. It was very nice ..had a hot tub and was fully equiped with everything we needed except a wine opener. It said it would sleep 15 which was a stretch of the imagination, but it had 2 staterooms, extra bunks, hideabed etc. We went in July . I would suggest an early date as the lake can get very low late in the season, which means high side banks. Feel free to call me with questions. | Audrey Scannell | 11/21/2011 |

| Travel -- Galapagos | Mike and I are planning a trip during the next year
to the Galapagos Islands and Machu Picchu. Our baseline trip for comparison
purposes is one by Road Scholar (formerly Elderhostel). We have traveled
with Elderhostel before; also with National Geographic.
If you have suggestions of other companies that we should research, we would appreciate hearing from you. |

| Overseas Adventure Travel | We went with Overseas Adventure Travel way back in 1998. Small groups, about 16-18. | Jim Quan | 8/18/2014 |
| Tauck Tours | Wayne and I have used Tauck Tours several times and would again. | Cec Garrett | 8/18/2014 |
| Grand Circle, Collette | Robin and I have traveled with Grand Circle 4 times and really like their tours. We also have gone with Collette twice and had great experiences there, too. We have felt that both Grand Circle and Collette are interesting, education, and good value. We were gifted a trip on Tauck and that was nice but very laid back and not as educational as we like. Many years ago we went with Grand European when they were still good; then they became enveloped by Far and Wide and those tours were not as good; one was a disaster. We have not traveled with them since them separated themselves again and are just Grand European. | Jane Blomqist | 8/18/2014 |
| Vantage | Darlene and I traveled with Vantage several times and were very pleased with them. They stay in some better venues and their guides are great! | Keith Stewart | 8/18/2014 |
| Travel agents | Please help me find a good travel agent by recommending your favorite. Thank you. | Shirley Buckley | 5/13/2015 |

| Patricia Aitkens, AAA 541/618-4076 |
I have been using Patricia Aitkens, AAA located on Barnett Rd. , 541/618-4076. She is local and one does not need to be a member of AAA to use her service. I have found her to be very knowledgeable and quite helpful. She also saved me a lot of money on my current reservations to Europe. | Bob Carter | 5/14/2015 |
| Carolyn Haggert AAA |
I've used Carolyn Haggert at AAA-Medford for 20+ years. She really knows her "stuff" | Mary Jane Morrison | 5/14/2015 |
| Ranee Houk AAA |
I worked with Ranee Houk this week at AAA. I am so impressed with her friendly, professional, effective manner. I would heartily recommend her.I would also advise travelers to NOT do business with an online service called faregeek.com Ranee at AAA did for me in an hour what faregeek.com could not do in a week. | Jeannette Bournival | 5/16/2015 |
| Katelin Gothard AAA |
We also had very good service
from another AAA travel counselor, Katelin Gothard; she's very cheery
and efficient. |

| Carolyn Hagert AAA |
Another vote of support for Carolyn Hagert at AAA. In addition to the other kudos, is the convenience of the AAA location at the corner of Ellendale and Barnett. And she is available by email to answer those pesky little questions that don’t require an immediate answer or an appointment for a face-to-face meeting. | Gini Armstrong and Ron Constable | 9/28/2019 |

| Ranee Houk AAA |
I also recommend travel agent Ranee Houk at AAA. She is proficient, accessible, and professional. She has helped us in tight spots several times. | Lannette Moutos | 9/28/2019 |
| Ranee Houk AAA |
Yes, she (Ranee Houk) is the agent I usually deal with. Very, very good and efficient...and nice, even when I had to cancel a trip that involved two separate tweddings, one in So. Cal. and the other in NY, (on New Year's Eve!) with a tour of the Caribbean in between! She cancelled all the hard work she did to coordinate these trips into one package, without hesitation, questioning, or irritation! Amazing! (I had to cancel because of a bad cold.) | Geri shimabukuro | 9/28/2019 |
